Since 2020, UFC heavyweight Tai Tuivasa has been on a slow but consistent ascent in the rankings. The number eleven-ranked contender is now slated for the biggest test of his career in the form of fellow knockout puncher Derrick Lewis at UFC 271 this weekend.
Should “Bam Bam” emerge victorious against a two-time title contender, he likely gets another big-named opponent for his next fight. During his recent appearance on The MMA Hour, host Ariel Helwani discussed some options for Tuivasa, which includes potential matchups against ex-champions Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones.
Without hesitating, the 28-year-old Sydney native welcomed the idea of a Jon Jones fight.
